How do you go from Opening Day starter in 2014 to an unspecified bullpen role in a little over a year’s time? Well, just ask Dillon Gee, although I’m not sure he has any answers for you.

Collins and Gee have a strong relationship, so Gee was asked how it was presented to him by the manager.

For his part, Collins felt the need to apologize to Gee for having his role changed so often and circumstances beyond his control.
